This heart symbolizes what an amazing Mother you have always been to me. As you battle breast cancer I wanted to take this time to let you know I am so proud of your strength and grace during this difficult time.

It is amazing that no matter where we go, whether it is Starbucks, neighbors, or the oncology unit, everyone gives you big hugs and lets me know what a beautiful inspirational person you are. I have heard so many stories how you have brightened their day and that you have touched their lives in a positive way.

You are not only my Mom but also my Mentor, Friend and Hero. You have the strength of a linebacker, the beauty of a supermodel, the courage of a warrior, the sparkle of a diamond, and the heart of a saint.

Someday when you want to bring inspiration to another soul please pass on this heart and let the world know the story. The love and care can be passed on from person to person and can make a difference in many lives.

About Me

In June 2005, I set out on a drive in San Francisco that would forever change my life. While passing through the city, I noticed a man crying on the street. Though I never interacted with him, my motivation to hand him something as a token of love and connection birthed the idea for HEART IS HOT.
Prior to the actual product used now, I purchased a few small glass hearts to have on hand for any moment of inspiration. Upon seeing a distressed young woman one day, I knew that the time had come to participate in the journey I was about to introduce to the world. So touched by the gesture, the woman fell to her knees on a busy San Francisco corner and told me I had just saved her life because"she was contemplating suicide."
This episode provided the final inspiration to create the personalized, etched glass hearts and website that form the foundation of my business today.
